Who Are WE ?
|
The UNITED STATES SUBMARINE VETERANS INC. was founded in 1965 by a group of U.S. Submarine Veterans of World War II. They shared a belief in the need for an organization open to all submariners, from the very beginning of the Submarine Service through to the present and into the future - and not limited to just those who served so ably on Submarines in WW2. They also wanted to insure that those lost in the line of duty on US Submarines will never be forgotten, and to provide a way for veteran Submariners to share camaraderie and pass on the collective memory of the United States Navy Submarine force to future generations. |

Who are we? We are United
States Submarine Sailors! We all proudly earned and wear the coveted
Twin Dolphins of the United States Navy Submarine Force. Regardless of
the boat you qualified on, be it a diesel type, Nuclear Fast Attack or
Boomer, and regardless of rank or rate, if you qualified in Submarines,
you are one of the very few good enough to serve in the US Submarine
Service, and you belong in the USSVI. In addition, we shall provide a way for all Submariners to
gather for the mutual benefit and enjoyment. Our common heritage
as Submariners shall be strengthened by camaraderie. |
